Broken and indifferent
A life used up on running
there's not a lot that you can give that I can't take away
the devil is a gentleman
a penchant for persuasion
a promise and a lie between his teeth can seem the same
Breathing lies in drifting rain
I've tried the innocent ways
I'll give in to you
I'll give in to you
The leeches and the lepers reach a verdict in the hearing
locked away from light you see the breaches in the game
we're marched around in single file
our freedom is a folly
a needle and the thorn stuck in your side can seem the same
breathing lies in drifting rain
I've tried the innocent ways
I'll give in to you
I'll give in to you
